Job Postings for Postdoctoral Researchers
Experiment
- The Laboratory of Interfacial and Small Scale Transport at the California Institute of
Technology is announcing immediate availability of postdoctoral positions
in the areas of small scale optical sensor and detector arrays for micro-, bio-
and optofluidic applications. Candidates with experience in optics or photonics;
thin film waveguides; surface plasmon techniques; microresonators; optical tweezers; and
laser interferometry or holography are especially encouraged to apply. Additional
experience with microfluidic chips
based on electrowetting, dielectrophoresis, or surface
acoustic waves is also valuable, as is familiarity with microfabrication techniques.
Applicants must hold PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Biophysics,
Chemistry or relevant branches of Engineering and
have demonstrated ability for creative and independent research. For security reasons, kindly send by
conventional mail (i.e no electronic documents accepted)
a curriculum vitae, list of publications, four letters of recommendation, graduate transcript,
and copies of selected reprints or preprints to the following address:

Pasadena, CA 91125 USA - The Laboratory of Interfacial and Small Scale Transport at the California Institute of
Technology is announcing immediate availability of postdoctoral positions
in the general areas of experimental micro- and nanofluidics. Available projects include the
response of thin liquid films to interfacial stresses caused by thermal, electrostatic or
concentration gradients. Candidates with experience
using optical tweezers, atomic force microscopy, optical biosensors,
total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), or
micro/nanoscale particle image velocimetry are especially encouraged to apply.
Familiarity with fluid dynamics, interfacial phenomena or flow visualization is also desirable,
as is prior experience with microfabrication techniques.

- The Laboratory of Interfacial and Small Scale Transport at the California Institute of
Technology is announcing immediate availability of postdoctoral positions in the general area
of theoretical fluid dynamics
and hydrodynamic instabilities including analytical modeling, computational fluid dynamics
or non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.
Current projects include the study of various micro- and nanofluidic systems involving
thin film flows in the vicinity of inhomogeneous boundaries, thin films subject to time
varying stress fields, instabilities triggered by Marangoni,
thermocapillary or electrocapillary forces, and the influence of non-normality in free surface flows.
Applicants must hold PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering
and have demonstrated ability for creative and independent research.
